Synopsis

A young couple, Ganga and Nakulan, arrive at Madampalli, the ancestral home belonging to Nakulan. Coming from a family that upholds tradition and superstitions, Nakulan's uncle Thampi opposes the couple's plan to move into the mansion, which is believed to be haunted. Nakulan disregards the concerns, and the couple proceeds to move in. Soon after, a series of seemingly supernatural events begin to occur.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
